**JESSE REEVES wants to live life to the fullest.** After a Kawasaki Disease diagnosis and an ICD implant, she’s determined to make every moment count—including tackling her carefully curated bucket list.

First on the list? A no-strings-attached one-night stand.

Enter ASHER JAMISON, a charming stranger who helps her check that box. Their night together is everything she hoped for, and then some. But the surprise comes the next day when she discovers Asher isn’t just a stranger; he’s her best friend’s brother.

Understanding how important her bucket list is to Jesse, her best friend suggests a road trip with Asher in his RV to help her check off as many items as possible before her new job begins. Though hesitant, Jesse agrees with one condition: they must keep things strictly platonic.

But as Jesse and Asher explore quirky roadside attractions, share experiences, and navigate close quarters, keeping their feelings in check becomes harder.

The question is, can Jesse overcome her fears and let him into her heart?

[Fat Forward Books: Disability Pride Recommendations](https://fatfwdbooks.binderybooks.com/item/RjSiYw6FgLRfRAxUNipx/)

Happy Disability Pride Month! 🙌 Today marks 35 years since the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law. This year especially, disabled people and our allies are fighting for our rights with everything we have—and as fervid readers and advocates for more and better intersectional disabled representation in media, we know how much of an impact reading disabled stories can make. 📖

In collaboration with author and fellow fat, disabled babe @laurelhollbooks, #FatForwardBooks presents 36 books with intersectional fat and disabled representation! 📚✨

How many of these titles have you read? How many are new to you? Let us know in the comments! For more, tap the 🔗 in the usual place and join FFB on @bindery\_books for fat+ refs all year long.
